• In-Office Procedures: Perform minor, in-office clinical procedures such as trigger point injections and joint injections.
• Procedural Screening & Referrals: Identify and prepare candidates for advanced, fluoroscopy-guided interventional procedures (e.g., epidurals, radiofrequency ablations, and spinal cord stimulator trials) performed by the attending physician.
• Medication Management: Responsibly manage non-opioid and, where strictly appropriate, monitored pharmacological therapies within DEA regulations and in accordance with state laws and clinic policies.
• Collaborative Care Coordination: Coordinate multidisciplinary care plans, including making referrals to physical therapy, chiropractic care, pain psychology, orthopedic, neurosurgery, or other specialists.

Skills

• Proven experience working with EMR/EHR systems for efficient documentation and patient tracking.
• Strong background in acute care settings such as ICU or Level I Trauma Centers; hospital medicine; emergency medicine; or critical & intensive care environments.
• Knowledge of pharmacology related to comprehensive pain management strategies.

What We Offer

• Highly Competitive Base Salary: Commensurate with experience.

• Professional Support: CME (Continuing Medical Education) allowance and professional liability insurance.
• Work-Life Balance: Outpatient only, Monday through Friday schedule with no nights, no weekends, and no hospital call.

Role Requirements

• Active, unrestricted Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) license in Alaska.
• National board certification (AANP, ANCC, or NCCPA).
• Active DEA registration and state controlled-substance license.
• Experience in pain management, orthopedics, physical medicine & rehabilitation (PM&R), or neurosurgery is highly preferred, but we are willing to train the right, high-energy candidate.
• Ability to thrive and maintain accuracy in a fast-paced clinical environment.

The MD/APP Division of Labor: Our interventional physicians spend the majority of their time in the procedure suite utilizing fluoroscopy (C-arm guidance) for complex injections, ablations, and device implants. The APP serves as the clinical engine of the practice—handling the extensive workups, establishing patient trust, coordinating external physical therapies, and managing long-term patient recovery.

• Focus on Functionality: Our practice measures success by restoring a patient’s quality of life and physical function, not just masking symptoms. APPs are critical in guiding patients through physical rehabilitation, behavior modification, and targeted non-surgical therapies.
